It's 30". I took a look at the specs, from the Products listings. It seems to me that Fender's short scale is 30", while Gibson's is 30 1/2". The Jaguar Bass also has a 30" scale. Matt

Apparently you didn't check out the link I provided, about the Epiphone Elitist EB3 SG Bass. If you had, you would have seen that it has a 30 1/2" scale neck, which unless I've had a stroke recently is the same as the Gibson EB3 SG Bass. There is the unfortunate part about the Elitist no longer...

More info about the Epiphone Elitist EB3 SG Bass. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Elitist-EB3-Bass-Guitar?sku=518411 I bought one (cherry finish), like in the link that stevieb posted, but through American Musical Supply via their 3 payment plan. When it first arrived, the...

Gibson EB3 SG Bass, and Epiphone Elitist EB3 SG Bass are both short scale basses. The cheaper Epiphone EB3 SG Bass, like what I have, is a long scale bass. Matt

Although I don't have a more expensive Squier, I do own both a Squier Affinity Tele, and a Fender Standard Telecaster. The differences between the two are, the strings on the Squier stop through the bridge, rather than through the body, and the Squier pickups are a touch brighter (not quite "ice...

Right now, I'm in the process of collecting parts toward building a custom Tele. So far, I've got the body (routed for P90s and a Strat tremolo), a 5-way switch and the pots. Still need to get the neck, pickups (likely Seymour Duncan SP3 bridge/Seymour Duncan SP1 neck, like the Fender TC-90 and...

There are some folks that record with a Precision Bass, but take a Jazz Bass on the road with them. What they do in the studio with the P-bass, they can replicate live with the J-bass, but not the other way around...and for the reasons explained by Fletch-X. I already have two P-basses (Squier...

My first question is, what make/model of guitar? I only ask this because I'm assuming it already has a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tail piece, which will make converting to either vibrato system less of a headache, starting out. Although I voted for Bigsby, as I'll be putting a B5 on both my...

Check out Peavey's JF1 EX or JF2 EX, whenever you get a chance. The only real difference between the two is, the JF2 EX has a Bigsby. I've had my Peavey JF2 EX for almost 2 years, and I love the versatility of tones I can get from it. Both models have 2 mini humbuckers, a 3-way toggle switch...

As for a non-Fender bass, I prefer my Epiphone EB3 SG Bass. I nearly scored a Gibson EB3 SG Bass about 15 years ago, but had to give up the lay-away due to circumstances beyond my control. I'd fallen in love with the tone pallet of the EB3 before I knew that Jack Bruce used one, when he was with...

I'd really love to get one of their Warhawk II 390 guitars, and put a vibrato of some sort on it...be it a Bigsby or a Les Trem (which I've seen as optional equipment on Reverend guitars, and I know Stew Mac carries 'em, otherwise). It'd be interesting to hear how 3x P90s compare to 3x Strat...

Most stores that sell Bigsby vibratos also sell replacement parts for them. When the information you found indicated "Bigsby-style vibrato," it could mean 'Bigsby licensed.' If this is a copy of a real ES-335, it's entirely possible the Bigsby is a copy of whatever model Gibson used. That might...

The Fender Jaquar has a 24" scale, and if you prefer the sound of humbuckers, there's the Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH or the Fender Jaguar HH for about 1/2 the price of the AVRI Jag. Also, the Jag HH don't have a tremolo, depending if that's important to you, or not. Off hand, I'm...

Depending on what you're looking to spend, when you get around to buying your P90 guitar TelePaul, I'd highly recommend Gibson's Les Paul Faded Double Cut. It's really a renamed Les Paul Special (although marketed as a Faded Double Cut, or FDC, it says Special on the truss rod cover), and does...

There's Surf Guitar 101, if you want to learn about the fine art of instrumental surf guitar playing. They have Forums as well, but there's a lot of good information that can be found away from the forums (even if some articles are links to a forum post that was a significant enough contribution...

Check out the Ibanez GAX70. Helluva guitar for only $200.00! I've tried too many to keep track of (more than 12), and only experienced 1 dud. For the price, and your proposed price range, you'd have enough left over for a bitchin' small practice amp...tube or solid-state. Matt

I'm at the point where it don't really matter, to me, what wood the fingerboard is made of. I can still hear the subtle differences between maple, rosewood and ebony, but I don't let that distract me from paying attention to the overall tones of the guitar. Matt

I'm one that'll keep my tone control(s) at 10, and use my volume(s) in shaping the overall tone of the guitar. With my Squier Bullet Special, Fender So Cal Speed Shop Strat and Fender FSR Straight Six Stratocaster, it's all in the volume knob, when shaping the tone, as that's the only knob on...

I compare my Classic 50/212 to a Vox AC30, in that it sounds just like one but without built-in tremolo. For as little as I'll actually use a tremolo effect, I went with the Peavey, but I do plan to buy a tremolo pedal (likely a Vox Cooltron Vibravox) for the few pieces I do use tremolo for...

I forgot about that part. I once owned an Epiphone PR100 that, after trying several brands and gauges of phosphor bronze strings and not being satisfied with the overall tone, it was suggested that I should try a set of bright bronze strings. It was a set of medium gauge 80/20 strings, and it...
